Shirdi was a place visited by many holy figures, partly because it was on a pilgrimage route to southern holy sites like Rameshwar and Pandharpur. Chapter 0 mentions that when Maharaj first arrived, a saint named Devidas was already present there. Various other saints would visit Devidas from time to time. The text specifically notes that a very advanced saint named Janakidas stayed in Shirdi for many days and spent a lot of time with Maharaj. Additionally, the famous Gangagir Baba was also a known visitor to the area, further establishing Shirdi as a place touched by the feet of many holy men.
